In A Model of Devotion (Book 3 of The Lumber Baron's Daughters) by Mary Connealy, Jillian finally gets married! This book focuses primarily on her getting the bridges built and track laid to complete her father's dream. She is in constant danger though because Carlisle still wants her and marriage isn't going to stop him. Nick is in danger as well since Carlisle has no qualms about killing. I liked this book because the characters are so good and there is a lot of action in this one. Of the three sisters, it's hard to say which one I liked best. They were all good and yet different. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical Christian fiction/romance. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"Inventions of the Heart" by Mary Connealy
Inventions of the Heart by Mary Connealy is the second in the Lumber Baron's Daughters series and is full of excitement and fighting. This book focuses on the eldest daughter, Michelle who majors in machines and inventions. She finds herself a husband and no just Jilly is single. I am enjoying this series very much and pretty much flying through it. I recommend it to those who enjoy historical Christian romance. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"The Element of Love" by Mary Connealy
It's been quite a while since I read a book. Since my last cat crossed the bridge, reading just isn't as pleasurable for me. I loved having my cat sit next to me or lay on my lap as a read and I really miss that. Last week though, with the icy weather and cold temperatures, I picked up The Element of Love by Mary Connealy that had been sitting on my "to read" shelf for over a year now. I enjoyed it very much and am glad I started reading again. This is a Christian historical fiction story about three sisters--Laura, Jilly and Michelle who are carrying out a plan to oust their cruel evil stepfather from their home and protect their mother from further abuse. It is set in California during 1972. I liked it because I was intrigued by the three sisters right off the bat and the book begins with adventure and action from the start. Their father owned a logging company and taught each of the girls skills to run it someday so they can take over the business. They become owners when either they reach age 25 or when they get married. They don't want to wait until 25 so they go off to find themselves husbands. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"A Court of Frost and Starlight" by Sarah J. Maas
It has been a long time since I read a Sarah J. Mass book, my bad! In A Court of Frost and Starlight, Feye is getting ready for the winter holidays. But not all is right in her kingdom. I hated to see this book end. This is much shorter than others I've read by her, but very good. Sarah Maas is a very talented writer! I LOVED IT! (5++ stars)

"The Ex" by Freida McFadden is a Must Read!
In The Ex by Freida McFadden, Cassie's life is good. She runs a bookstore and is going with a great man. She sees her life as being married soon and having kids, but plans do not always come true! Freida McFadden is the best! The twists and turns she comes up with and the characters are always extremely good. She is definitely my favorite author when it comes to thrillers. Then ending of this book was fantastic! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
